Comments Section The order of proper resigning is basically: letter handed over directly, email, in person verbal, phone call, text, just never show up again. The short/standard answer is yes, quitting via email is considered unprofessional.
Generally, yes — email is considered written notice. While states have varying laws regarding when property owners should provide written notices and what forms of communication count as such, emails are generally accepted as written notices.
Dear name of manager, Please accept this as notice of my resignation from the position of your job title at business or organisation name. Since my notice period is X weeks/months, I believe my last day will be date. Please let me know if that is incorrect.
Although my employment contract states a required notice period of INSERT NOTICE PERIOD LENGTH, I would like to reduce this to INSERT REQUESTED NOTICE PERIOD LENGTH, completing my employment on INSERT LAST DAY YOU INTEND TO WORK.
Please accept this email as my formal resignation from my position as Your Job Title at Company Name. My last day of employment will be Your Last Day of Work, two weeks from today. Thank you again for the opportunity to work at Company Name. I wish you and the company all the best in the future.
Resignation letters can be delivered both in person through hard copy or online attached as a PDF via email. Ultimately, they both have the same purpose: letting the company know you're leaving.
How to write a resignation email Choose a direct and descriptive email subject. Address the recipient professionally. State your intention to resign clearly and concisely. Provide your last working day. Express gratitude. Offer assistance during the transition period. Close the email respectfully.
Hence, yes, you can resign via email. But we suggest having an online meeting with your supervisor beforehand to give them a heads up.
If you have a good relationship with your manager, you may also consider handing them the letter in person and having a conversation about it. However, it is important you deliver your notice in writing, so an email is a perfectly fine way to do it.
